GOING: S(5)

TABTOUCH WESTSPEED PLATINUM HANDICAP 1690m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m entire.  

Moderate tempo with Heaps Of Moolah leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. ROYAL GAP (3) has been solid this campaign and was strong from the back at Pinjarra in a 100k race last time out. He was right in the market to begin this campaign and Faithfull knows him well. He could be back in the run, but if he runs up to recent figures he'll be flying late in the race. ASPHALT (2) just missed in maiden company last start but turned in a solid rating in the process. The rise in trip doesn't seem an issue and the in-form Parnham sticks. Maps for a lovely run once again and is expected to put himself right in the finish. YALLINGUP GIRL (9) flew home from the back over 1400m at this track last time out when right down in the weights. She now gets Parnham replacing the apprentice hoop and out to the mile looks a big tick. Wouldn't surprise to see her go to another level now. SHEEZA SHEILA (5) bolted in two back before a disappointing run last time out. Can get back to form with a change in gear. WHY ME (1) can improve sharply third-up and out in distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Gap looks the one to beat.
